(2) YA Hungry City Chronicles series. In the distant future, after the Sixty Minute War that destroyed civilization, London has become a wheeled mountain of metal that hunts down and "eats" other cities for raw materials. The tone of adventure and the narrow escapes, deepening loyalties, and not-infrequent bitter losses will all keep readers riveted. The elegiac confrontation at the climax sends several characters to their deaths in a blaze of glory and the survivors to a sobering victory.
